PyAvroPhonetic 0.1.3-p02

A Python implementation of the popular Bengali phonetic-typing software
Avro Phonetic.

Branch: Master: | Develop:

Overview

pyAvroPhonetic provides a Python package which includes a text parser
that converts Bangla written in Roman script to its phonetic
equivalent in Bangla. It implements the Avro Phonetic Dictionary
Search Library by Mehdi Hasan Khan.

Currently supported and tested Python versions are 2.5, 2.6 and
2.7. The code has not been tested on Python 3, but porting it to
Python 3 is on the agenda. It will be possible once the simplejson
library is stable for Python 3.

N.B. This package is under development and is not yet fit for
production use.

Inspirations

This package is inspired from Rifat Nabi’s jsAvroPhonetic. So
far, the code is a direct (and shameless) translation of
jsAvroPhonetic into Python.

Note for developers

Coding style follows PEP 8 along with PEP 257 for Docstring
conventions. Unit tests are run using the Nose library and syntax and style
checking is done with Pylint.

Please install these two libraries in your development
environment. The tests/requirements.txt file specifies testing
dependencies. To install them with pip:

$ sudo pip install -r tests/requirements.txt

Pylint is used with some modifications
to the default configuration. The notable ones are:

W0142 is ignored to allow usage of “magic methods”

Maximum branches in function body: 20

Maximum statements in function body: 100

For others please see the [Design] section in pylint-rc.ini. Our
target is to keep up a score of 10.0/10 in Pylint’s reports. Tests
on Travis will fail if Pylint doesn’t give 10.0/10. This is
intentationally used to ensure uniform code structure and quality.

Run unit tests from the root of the repository:

$ nosetests --exe -v

Run pylint from root of the repository:

$ pylint --rcfile=pylint-rc.ini pyavrophonetic

We need more testers

If you find any bugs, please report them in the Issues queue. As
always, before you report any new issue, please check that it has not
been already posted by someone else.
